BISMARCK, ID. T., March 1S.-Wash-
burne gorge broke last night, and early
this morning the river began to rise
rapidly. A gorge was formed below
the city. The ice carried everything
with it and struck the warehouse OF the
Northern Pacific railroad. The work
men narrowly escaped drowning, and
in less than two hours from the time oil
the gorge the water was in the second
stories of the river boarding-houses,
which had been built on what was con-
sidered high ground. The warehouse,
which is nearly 700 feet in length, was
moved bodily over 30 feet, and sent
crushing against the bluffs. The loss
of the building will be over Sl5,OOO
Meadow land south of Bismarck COM
prising 5000 acres is newly made
channel in this body of surplus water
at the rate of ten miles per hour. The
river at this point, which isusually three
quarters Of mile wide, is now over
six miles in width. The Northern Pa
cific trains will be unable to cross the
river IOT StNtTdl ua. ,, anu Dh'h"' IN

Superintendent Graham attempted to
60 to Mandau, but the water on the
west side of the river is flowing four
feet deep over the track, and the fires
in the engine were put out. Mandau
is submerged, and the people in the
lower part of the city have been moving
into the upper stories of their dwellings:
All small dwellings, on the banks OF
the stream have been swept away
or destroyed, and steamboats, lying
at Rockhaven are in danger. The high
trestle of the Northern Pacific at this
point has been damaged. At o'clock
this afternoon the new channel which
the river had cut across the prairie let
out the ice and the river has since
fallen slowly, but the worst has not
come. The ice went out at Fort Blu
ford this morning with rise of thirty
feet, the highest ever known. This
food will not reach here until Satur-
day, when there will probably be terri

landing and on the meadow land here
already will reach 100000.

THE NEWS OF MANCHESTER.
The Indictments Against the city
CounciI-Otacr Items.

A called meeting of the City Council
was held at 1870 o'clock last night to
consider the three indictments found
against each member at the last session
of the grand jury for not abating
nuisances in the form OF ponds
of stagnant water allowed to stand in
the streets. There were present Messrs.
j. r. Perdue (chairman), John Perry,
William Walsh, b. +. Faulkener, G.
A. Jones, II. l.. Kidd, J. E. Hew-
lett, John O'Brien, A. G. Jones, L. W.
Weisiger, and George j. Ely, and
City-Attorney William ]. Clopton.
After some informal talk resolution
was adopted requesting the City At
torney to attend court and defend the
members of the Council.
Judge Clopton called the attention
Of the Council to the suit of George
Tucker against the city for So, 900 dam
ages, and suggested, in view of the
magnitude of the proceeding and the
fact that the plaintiff will have able
counsel, that he be authorized to
retain the services of Mr.. c.
V. Meredith, City Attorney of
Richmond, to assist him in the
defence. The Council voted unani-
mously to allow the Judge to secure
Mr.. Meredith's services. This action
will have to be ratified by the Council
at regular meeting, as this action was
informal and not legal, the meeting
being a special one called to consider
another subject.
The suit is brought to recover dam.
ages for injuries sustained by both OF
fuckers parents falling on dark night
over an embankment on Thirteenth
street, at Blanton & Jones's brick-yard,
which, it is alleged, produced the death
of fuckers wife.
The meeting for men at the Rich
mond and Danville reading-rooms last
Sunday was such success that it was
decided to have another tomorrow. AS
many were turned away for lack OF
even standing-room the meeting to-
morrow will be held at the Central Me-
thodist Episcopal church at 2. NJ.
1t will be for men only, and all the
churches of the city will unite. There
will be some very plain talking, and
the singing will be led by small or
chestra. The church will be crowded.
Justices Hewlett and Clayton, OF
Chesterfield, held an examination
Thursday afternoon in the case OF
James Snellings, charged with causing
the death of his wife by neglect. The
evidence not being sufficient to sustain
the charge the case was dismissed.

Grafton 10 Father Keller.

IBy AnglO-Americaa cable 10 the D!spatch.l
DURL1y, March 1S.-Father Keller,
while on his journey to Dublin under
arrest, received an ovation at the sta
tons. He was met at Shurles by Arch
bishop Coke and twelve priests. The
Archbishop assured Father Keller of
his sympathy and approval, and he
warned the Tory Government that the
attempt to crush the priesthood would
lail. On his arrival at Dublin Father
Keller was enthusiastically received.
He was not conveyed to jail. Entering
the Lord Mayors carriage he was
driven through the city tothe Imperial
Hotel. The carriage was followed by
thousands Of people with banners and
bands of music. The ex-Lord Mayor,
in a speech, said that thousands of
priests were ready to follow Father
Keller to jail.

Richmond Theatre.

To brilliant audience last night at
the Theatre Miss Fanny Davenport
presented the play of Fedora. This
has been given by her on previous
occasion, but last night she proved that
her histrionic powers were as great as
ever, and she certainly held her audi
ence entranced, as was evidenced by
the stiffness that existed throughout
the house during the effective scenes.
The death scene was something fear
fully realistic, and her fall from the
sofa in the death agony was trying
sight to see. Few eyes were dry.
She was enthusiastically recalled at
the end of each act.
Her great triumph is to be to-day at
the matinee, when she plays Beatrice
in "Much Ado About Nothing"
Her Beatrice is pronounced the best
ever seen. Modjeska tried, it is said,
to compete with her, and gracefully
surrendered the palm to Miss Dayen-
port.
The costumes last night were ele-
CANT, but those of the matinee will sur
pass them.
Her support is always good.
The Governor and his wife were
present last night.

THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
spirited Debate i'm the House OF
Commons Yesterday.

TBy Anglo Americal cable 10 tho Dlspa,ch.l
LONDON, March 1S.-John Dillon in
the House of Commons this evening
protested against the arrest of Father
Keller at Youghal to-day.
MIR. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ire
land. denounced Dillon's violent Ian
guage and his partisanship in accusing
the Irish police of misleading the
magistrate in the case and goading the
people to resistance. Balfour declared
that the Irish agitators were really re-
sponsible for goading the people OF
ireland INTO. rebellion.
Touching the arrest of Father Keller,
Balfour said that the Bankruptcy Court
had power to summon anybody, whether
priest or layman, as q witness, and il
such summons be disobeyed the only
option of the Court was to enforce the
law and impiison the recalcitrant.
Iebouchere reproached Balfour for
having, as he said, shirked his duty in
failing to answer the charge Of inhu-
manity brought against the police. he
hoped that whenever Balfour turned
loose his myrmidons without consult
ing a magistrate the Irish people would
resist as they were now resisting.
Parnell protested strongly against
the absence of any attempt on the part
Of the Government to meet the strong
case that had been brought against
them. Palfour, he said, would not es-
cape the retribution and judgment of
history as one who had entered upon a
task Of bloodshed in Ireland with
light heart, Tcries Of Withdraw, which
the speaker did not notice, and Irish
cheers, or as one who, during short
period in Office, had shown more cal
lousness and Indifference than any pre-
vious secretary. 1t was unfor tunate
for him CALHOUN that his assumption
Of office had been signalized by two
such events as the arrest of Father
Keller and the murder Of Hanlon.
On call for a division the members
on the front and opposition bench left
the House in a body amid ironical
cheers, The motion to adjourn was
negatived-226 to sand the debate
on the Cloture rules was resumed. Par
pell demanded a division on the first
rule. which was carried-262 to 41-and
William Henry Smiths proposal that
the rule be Immediately made the
standing order was adopted without
debate.
Parnell remarked that he hoped the
Conservatives would be as well pleased
with the new rule year hence as they
were now.
Smith announced that other proce-
dure rules would be taken up Monday
next, when he would also make state
ment regarding business matters.

two weeks ago and declined by letter.
The same offer was repeated to-day by
the President in person and again de-
clined. Ex-senator Thurman was also
among the Presidents callers to-day,

some connection with the appointment
of commissioners.

BERLIN, March 1S.-One of the EN-
peror's physicians states that the EN-
peror's constitution is so wonderfully
good that it resembles perfect clock
work, which will only stop when run
down or when something ont of common
happens. 1t is to prevent this that he is
continually watched. in orderto avert or
cure every indisposition. "Of course, )"
said the Doctor, she requires a good
deal of sleep. He has occasional swoons,
but these are simply the result of over
work, and they no longer alarm us be-
cause we have found a certain remedy.
His mental and physical freshness and
health is such as many men thirty or
forty years younger might envy. 1t is
therefore hardly necessary to contradict
the rumor FIAT he will make the Crown
Prince coregent. He himself said he
would stick to his post to the last mo-
ment."

CALLED BACK TO LIFE.
A Little Boys Life saved by Presence
OF Mind.
cincinnati Enquirer

tCinclnnati fnquircr
The case of the little boy OF Mac
Dean, who had such narrow escape
from death at Covington, is peculiar
one. He was playing in the yard and
accidentally fell into the cellar, which
was filed with water. His mother
missed him, and, failing to find him in
the yard, ran out on the street and gave
the alarm. A gentleman, who hap
pened to be passing by, ran in and went
into the cellar and found the little fell
low buried in three feet Of water. He
took him ont and a doctor was sent for.
The physician said il was O hopeless
case and pronounced the boy dead.
A gentleman passing at the time was
attracted by the crowd around the
house. Inquiring as TO what had oc-
casioned the excitement, he was in
formed. He at once suggested that
some person place their mouth 10 that
of the child and draw in good, hearty
breath. His suggestion was derided
and he himself was almost ordered out
of the house, several insisting that he
was crazy. AfS' bciai uotnef, uo"-
ever, thinking there might be some
thing in the suggestion, came forward
and announced herself in readiness 10
do whatever was wanted. The gentle
man requested her TO place her mouth
to that of the child and draw in her
breath as strong as possible. This she
did, repeating the operation again and
again. At last those present were graf
fed to notice that there were signs OF
the child returning to life. Thus en-
couraged the lady renewed her efforts,
and in short time the child was re-
stored to life, and was kicking aud
yelling vigorously. The little fellow is
now almost fully recovered, pair OF
swollen feet being the only reminder Of
his narrow escape from deaths door.
